Lee Kuan Yew in stable condition: Yaacob

Mr Lee Kuan Yew is in stable condition and doctors at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) are monitoring him closely, said Minister for Communication and Information Yaacob Ibrahim in a Facebook post on Friday night.

“I understand that many people are concerned and anxious about Mr Lee Kuan Yew's condition. I have been informed that he is stable and that the doctors are monitoring him closely,” he wrote.

“In the meantime, let us continue to give him our well wishes and keep him in our prayers,” he added.

Mr Lee, 91 has been warded at SGH since 5 Feb for severe pneumonia. A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office on 26 February said Mr Lee is in the Intensive Care Unit on mechanical ventilation. Doctors also restarted him on antibiotics.
